@saffrontrail Great designs from the North East would hv been fabulous…it would hv given Mangolia a run for their money…a sample of Mizoram’s tradional dress is attached to make the point.
@gkash77 This is a Sclaters Crowned Pigeon…have seen this bird at Papua New Gunea last year..but AI did not create a new bird…there already exists this particular bird..
@iamgraphik From GHy, Manas is approx a 3 hrs drive….the Bhuyapara range is good for birding…Connect to Rustom Basumatary who in my opinion is the best guide out there…Can DM me for his number. 2 days is sufficient to cover the woodlands as well as the grasslands there.
Have you ever seen an owls ear?
Here is a Northern Saw-Whet Owl: their ears are huge in comparison to their body. You can even see the skeletal anatomy with the base of the eye
